My DD (16 months) got a fever Friday night. It was 102-103. I thought she was getting the bad croupy cold DS has but it has never progressed into cold symptoms. She has had a fever the last couple of days since - it lowers to about 100 during the day and shoots back up at night.

She is very clingy, only wanting to sleep with mama, hardly eating/drinking, etc. We took her into the urgent care as soon as it opened this morning (I suspected ear infection) but the doctor said she definitely does not have one and said he suspects she has an upper respiratory infection, i.e. a COLD. But she has no other cold symptoms.

Does anyone have any insight? I have an appointment with her ped tomorrow morning first thing but am getting nervous. This is really atypical for her.

Poor thing also tripped and bit into her lip today - blood everywhere.
